TAMPA (FOX 13) - Beyonce has taken a lot of heat for her new song "Formation," which critics claim has an anti-cop message. Some Tampa Police officers might agree, if the request to work her upcoming Tampa concert is any indication. No one has agreed to do it.

Typically, officers who are off-duty agree to work concerts and sporting events at the venue for extra income, but none have signed up to work security for Beyonce's upcoming concert on April 29 at Raymond James Stadium.

The concert is expected to be a sold-out show, so not staffing the event with uniformed officers would be a security risk.

Good!

I've never heard any music by her.

Am I missing anything?

Good! You reap what you sow, Beyonce.

I hope no one signs up.

I haven’t heard much of her music either.

Maybe she should hire the Black Panther Party as security.

I’ve wondered if the NFL reviews plans for halftime shows, and if Beyonce’s spectacle was pre-approved.

On-Duty officers will be ordered to work her concert.

Taking officers off there regular street duty.

...my guess.

Regardless of our love of Ms Thang. If you pout 50,000 people somewhere most cities will provide traffic and exterior security and bill the organizers.

Racism has a price, and Beyonce is about to pay that price (I hope!).

Many years ago, I saw Bruce Springsteen at Shea Stadium. During the concert, he played his 41 Shots song about an NYPD shooting of an unarmed man. He was booed by a large segment of the audience and the uniformed cops in the stadium turned their backs.

Hours after the show, Bruce and the band expected their usual courtesy police walking escort from the stadium to their yacht transport in the nearby marina.

But the NYPD found themselves otherwise occupied and the boys had to make their way on their own. Back in the nineties, the Shea Stadium area of Queens was a very dark and scary place at two in the morning.

I believe Michelle Obama made some comment about Beyoncé’s planned performance .. PRIOR TO THE SUPER BOWL. HOW Michelle knew .. is the mystery.

Personally .. don’t give a rip.

TO ALL TAMPA POLICE - THANKS FOR STANDING UP FOR YOURSELVES; AND NOT ALLOWING THE THUG CULTURE TO BULLY YOU.

Government workers are the hardest working people out there. How do they find these people? After working their day job they still have the energy to double dip in what's left of the private sector. No wonder most of them retire before age 50.</s>

Freaking great! Keep it up. I’m quite sure many cops in that area are black and or Hispanic. She insulted law abiding people everywhere. Stupid you-know-what.
